php & performance
php & performancesimon8410 Here are some ways to optimize the code:
1. Use strtr() instead of preg_replace() since it avoids the overhead of regular expressions.
2. Define the replacement array outside the loop to avoid redefining it on each iteration.
3. Use direct string concatenation instead of sprintf() for better performance.
4. Avoid function calls inside the loop like sizeof(). Define the length before the loop for better performance.
5. Consider using string replacement/manipulation functions like str_replace() instead of redefining/reconcatenating strings on each loop iteration.
So in summary, the optimized code would be:
$rep = ['-' => '*', '.' => '*

Improving PHP Application Performance with APC
- 1. Improving PHP Application performance with APC Presented by James McLean
- 2. Improving PHP Application Performance with APC Who is this clown? PHP Introduction APC Introduction Testing Environment Opcodes? APC Installation APC Configuration APC Shared Memory APC Vanilla Install Performance APC & Stat APC & Caching Variables Conclusion
- 3. Who is this clown? PHP User since early Version 3. PHP Developer since early 2000 Zend Certified Engineer, PHP5 Web Developer at Iugo Pty Ltd, Adelaide. irc://irc.freenode.org/#phpc Channel Operator Personal Blog: http://blog.phpguy.org
- 4. PHP Introduction PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor PHP/FI, Created in 1995 by Rasmus Lerdorf General Purpose Language Ideally suited to Web Development Can be used on the command line and for shell scripting, even for GUI apps!
- 5. APC Introduction APC: Alternative PHP Cache. Free, Open Source Opcode Cache. Benefit from simply installing the module, no code changes required. Ability to cache variables with code changes.
- 6. Testing Environment All tests were performed with the following: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 @ 3.2Ghz 8GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM APC 3.0.19, PHP 5.2.6 & PHP 5.2.6 From Gentoo Portage Custom OO PHP5 Framework PDO Used for all Database Access ab2 -k -c 50 -t 300 http://devwww.vortexdvd.com/
- 7. Opcodes? Opcodes are, simply, compiled PHP code. Discarded after the page has been executed. PHP Page Compilation: - Scanning / Lexing. Plain Text Code turned into Tokens - Parsing. Tokens are collected into Expressions. - Compilation. Expressions are translated into Opcodes for Execution. - Execution. Opcode stacks are processed, one at a time. APC caches the Opcodes for later execution!
- 8. APC Installation Quick and Easy to install! PECL - http://pecl.php.net - # pecl install apc . GNU/Linux Package Managers. - Gentoo Portage: dev-php5/pecl-apc . - Debian/Ubuntu: # pecl install apc Windows: http://pecl4win.php.net Ensure the module is loaded into php.ini. - extension=apc.so
- 9. APC Configuration In a basic APC installation, two major configuration options affect the performance of your applications apc.shm_size – Shared Memory Size. apc.stat – Stat files.
- 10. APC Shared Memory apc.shm_size controls how much memory will be set aside for APC to use. Memory is cheap! Increasing the memory available to APC will not always improve performance signifigantly.
- 11. APC Vanilla Install Performance As mentioned before, you can get a performance gain, simply from installing the module. No APC Enabled: APC Enabled, Vanilla Settings: Requests per second: 71.27 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 701.510 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 14.030 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 898.79 [Kbytes/sec] received Requests per second: 93.55 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 534.454 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 10.689 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 1181.05 [Kbytes/sec] received Whoa!
- 12. APC & Stat No.. Not that stat...
- 13. APC & Stat By Default, PHP checks the modification time of the script and all includes at Execution. You can disable stat checking, for extra performance! Web Server restarts required when files change.
- 14. APC & Stat Stat Testing: $ ab2 -k -c 50 -t 300 http://devwww.vortexdvd.com/ apc.stat = on apc.stat = off Requests per second: 129.46 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 386.208 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 7.724 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 1634.77 [Kbytes/sec] received Requests per second: 278.58 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 179.481 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 3.590 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 3516.54 [Kbytes/sec] received EPIC WIN!!
- 15. APC & Stat Turning off File Stat yields an excellent performance benefit! Best if your site files don't change very often. Requires a web-server restart when the files are changed.
- 16. APC & Variable Caching APC allows you to cache variables for speed. Large variables and variables that dont change often, ideally suited to variable caching. Caching Database Query Result Sets can result in extra performance, and save your database!
- 17. APC & Variable Caching Custom code to enable or disable use of the Query Cache. Query Cache Disabled Query Cache Enabled Requests per second: 124.55 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 401.436 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 8.029 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 1572.57 [Kbytes/sec] received Requests per second: 91.97 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 543.680 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 10.874 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 1160.01 [Kbytes/sec] received WIN!
- 18. Conclusion APC is a great way to get some 'free speed' out of your applications. - Benefit from installing the module, vanilla config! - Minor config changes for a huge benefit with Stat APC doesn't suit everyone and all situations. - Does not suit distributed servers or load balanced. Overall, APC is worth a look next time you need to improve your PHP application performance.
